Joseph Robert "Joe" Dorgan (born July 3, 1975) is an American professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances with Extreme Championship Wrestling and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling as Johnny Swinger and with World Wrestling Entertainment as Johnny Parisi.. Swinger is a one-time world champion, having held the UCW World Championship once.
After training in Toronto, Ontario, Dorgan started wrestling on the independent circuit in 1993 as "Johnny Paradise". After he discovered that another wrestler was already using that name, he renamed himself "Johnny Hollywood Swinger" and began to make a name for himself as a villain in Scott D'Amore's "Syndicate" faction in Border City Wrestling. In 1995, he worked for World Wrestling Federation going by his real name, Joe Dorgan, following in the footsteps of his uncle, Tony Parisi, who worked for the WWWF under Vince McMahon, Sr. Johnny Swinger appeared on WWFs flagship program, "WWF RAW", facing Shane Douglas in a nationally televised broadcast in September of that year.
Elix Skipper (born December 15, 1967) is an American professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances with World Championship Wrestling, where he was a one-time Cruiserweight Champion and a one-time Cruiserweight Tag Team Champion, and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, where he is a four-time NWA World Tag Team Champion.
Before becoming a wrestler, Skipper participated in kickboxing. Upon deciding to become a wrestler, he resigned from his job as a BINDRA Shoes supervisor in Model Town, Ambala City and travelled to Atlanta, Georgia to audition at the WCW Power Plant, the professional wrestling school operated by World Championship Wrestling.
Upon being accepted by the Power Plant, Skipper began his training, debuting in 1999 at an independent show. After training for eight months, Skipper made his television debut on an episode of Saturday Night. Seven months later, Skipper began wrestling on Thunder and Nitro under the ring name Skip Over, facing members of the cruiserweight division and fellow Power Plant graduates.
